I talked to one guy today, he said that it's not a problem to make a pulley (he works on a factory).
He said that it's possible to do it from titanium. I don't know price but he said it should not be more than $50.
What do you think?

density of materials:
titanium 4.505 g/cm^3
steel is 7.7-7.9 g/cm^3
and with titanium I can probably make pulley with diferent shape (with bigger holes) - so less material.

Titanium should be lighter then steel and much stronger. $50 is not bad at all. My wife paid a few hundred to get my titanium wedding band that weighs only a few ounces!! Then again, titanium is abundant where you're at. Did you know the U.S. got the Titanium it needed to make the SR71 Blackbirds from Russia back in the Cold War? Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

the crank pulley suplies power to your alternator and your a/c and your power steering and such, it has two belts on it, u can find pics of it in My diy to install the obx crank pulley... My DIY
i guess i could get you the dimensions but i would think they would want to make the measurements themselves so u dont get them done and realize i was off by .05 inches
